After looking at this image of my process, I'm not sure if I really made any progress today. However, I did have a reassuring conversation with Coach Hall about the true purpose of this assignment. Although it has not thus far turned out like I had hoped, I at least know what kind of style I prefer -- which I can use as a starting place for researching and planning future artworks. Also, it's not as if the painting is completely useless; I still have a whole weekend dapple my heart out. I focused on small areas of blending, which you can kind of notice ...
WAIT I JUST GOT AN IDEA. What if I use a rounded brush to make a whole top layer with large dapple - dots (haha I don't know what else to call it) instead of continuing to try super tiny smatterings of color? It would be much more abstract, I think, but I could more easily blending the values with almost impasto - like marks (but not so thick). I could outline the area where the necklace will be so that I won't have to write the words over heavily - painted areas. I think I will ask Coach Hall of his opinion. If he does not explicitly tell me this is a bad idea, then I think I know how to save myself.
